Married To The Mad Vampire Lord novel Chapter 442

Chapter 442: The stone

"Look down, love," he whispered tenderly.

Belle lifted her head from his shoulder and peered down toward the source of the sound. Her eyes widened, and she gasped softly at the unexpected, breathtaking sight below them.

Rohan was standing at the top of a waterfall, on a large rock dividing the streaming water as it rushed down on both sides. What made the place so extraordinary and breathtaking was how the water sparkled like tiny diamonds under the moonlight as it hit the river below, sending ripples across its glowing surface. Despite it being night, the water shimmered in shades of blue and white, so vivid it looked like a scene painted by an artist. Belle had never seen anything so beautiful.

The rushing sound of water was so loud that she had to raise her voice to exclaim.

"Wow..." she breathed, gazing down and around. "It’s beautiful! I’ve never seen anything this fascinating."

"It’s a special place called the Nightblue Falls," Rohan explained, watching the light return to her eyes as she looked around. He had once read somewhere that water had its own way of healing people, especially the sound of it flowing. "The water only sparkles at night. During the day, it looks completely ordinary."

Belle’s eyes widened with delight, glowing like a little girl receiving a long-awaited gift. "Can we go down the waterfall? I want to see it from below," she said with a bright smile, unable to hide her excitement.

Rohan’s lips curved in amusement at how something so simple could lift his wife’s mood so easily. "We can do more than just go down. Do you want to feel the water pouring over your head?"

"Can we really do that?" she laughed, her voice filled with excitement at the thought.

"Of course, my love. Anything you wish." He smirked playfully and, without warning, plunged them both straight through the rushing waterfall. Belle screamed as the cold water poured over her head, clinging tightly to his neck and burying her face in the crook of it, squealing in shock.

Rohan laughed just before they dipped into the water below, the force of the fall pulling them deeper into the river. He didn’t swim them straight back to the surface but nudged her gently to look around. Belle, who had never been in a river before, clung to him for dear life and refused to move until he pried her arms away from his neck and urged her to open her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, she almost gasped, nearly drawing water into her lungs, but stopped herself when she saw what lay beneath the river. Too afraid of sinking any deeper, since she couldn’t swim, she clung tightly to her husband while looking around in awe and wonder.

The water glowed with sparkling blue light, as though stars had fallen and melted into it. Fish swam past them in quick flashes of silver and yellow, darting away once they noticed strangers in their home.

Belle had thought the waterfall was beautiful from above, but nothing compared to the dazzling sight beneath the surface. She could still hear the faint rumble of the waterfall even beneath the surface as it hit the river.

Belle smiled, clenching her fingers around the stone like a precious gift from him.

Thank you for the way you love me, care for me, and hold on to me even when I’m at my lowest. For you, my husband, I would kill a thousand, she tried to say with her eyes.

Rohan moved closer to give her breath again. He kissed her softly and breathed air into her, holding her tightly against his body as the water surrounded them.

Many never wandered to this place because it was on the far side of a mountain in Nightbrook. His wings made it easy to reach. Rumors said the crystal stones beneath the surface could heal the heart and soul, that was why he gave her one.

I will never let them break you. I will always be the one to lift you up again when you fall. Because you are the best thing that has ever happened to me, Isabelle. Rohan didn’t speak the words, but the way he held her said it all.

Belle had never thought she would have another reason to smile after what she had done to that family, but Rohan gave her that reason that night before he took her home, her heart lighter than it had been in days.
